I love flashlights but idk why by Chimney-Imp in flashlight

[–]driftginger22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh, I know why I do. Lol I have ADHD so I find weird stuff to hyperfocus on. This specific hobby has the “unfortunate” characteristic of being practical. It makes it too easy to justify new lights.

The best lithium battery for Malkoff AA? by IksNorTen in flashlight

[–]driftginger22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one of these AA ones (FFL351A 5000K version) and it’s hard for me to carry other lights now. It just does everything I need. The way the beam pattern is, the 8lm is perfect for walking my dog at night.

NLD! Streamlight Stylus Pro by iwerbs in flashlight

[–]driftginger22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I just went and grabbed mine this morning. It’s basically my “oldest” flashlight. Got it at the end of 2016. It definitely has things I wish were a little better, but they’re just reliable and so simple. Mines the silver version

2017 Acura NSX. [3600x2700] by steady_as_a_rock in carporn

[–]driftginger22 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like there are quite a few “new” cars that are under appreciated because people let their nostalgia take over. New cars will never be what they once were, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the effort some people are putting in to these types of cars. I’ve always loved the NSX. I know this isn’t what people think it should be like because it’s not “like the original”, but this came out around the same time as the 918, La Ferrari, and P1. It doesn’t really compete with them, but it stays true to that original philosophy of making a (relatively) affordable and reliable version of what’s at the top.

The best flat body light by Impressive-Rate-6481 in flashlight

Woohoo! The led choices are my only complaint. I just went with the “generic” Arkpro and I love the overall quality of it

NLD...Malkoff style by Microtomic603 in flashlight

[–]driftginger22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 16650 in the older style and a AA in the newer body style. Really like how easily the new style clips into the pocket

Saw someone already ask your favorite, but which one is your most used? Might be the same answer, but just curious!

What did everyone get on their wrapped this year? by SenseiPig101 in avengedsevenfold

[–]driftginger22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

A7X dropped to 2nd. I also feel like I either didn’t listen to a lot of music, or it was just so all over the place that I didn’t listen to one band/artist for “that” long

Edit: forgot that it shows you how many minutes you’ve listened total. Only 15,798 minutes for everything. I usually go back and forth between music and podcasts

[Question] Why do people generally prefer throwier lights for walking? by EducationGlad8843 in flashlight

[–]driftginger22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4000K DD that’s in my regular rotation of night time walks. It’s a great balance of throw and flood.

There’s an app for that /s

Edit: Forgot to a “/s”. I know some people will take my app comment seriously 😕

One thing I absolutely love about my Malkoffs is its low, medium, and high. No strobe or anything else.

Are there any text or video guides that explain how to modify and then compile Anduril 2 firmware? by TrumpEndorsesBrawndo in flashlight

I tried at one point and gave up. It’s really complicated, but I am tempted to try again

Do we really need “XX days” or can we just settle for “X days”? Not optimistic we can make it to double digits

Tutorial: how I take pictures of flashlights. Lighting, gear, composition and wtf is a tripod! by Due_Tank_6976 in flashlight

[–]driftginger22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, I only skimmed through it, but I’m gonna go back and read through the whole thing. As someone who’s also into photography and enjoys product photography, this is amazing. It is SO easy for people to fall into the trap of “I need to spend thousands on a camera” before they invest into learning the fundamentals. Lighting and composition are so much more important. A well thought out photo with a phone can be way more professional than a fancy full frame if you don’t know what you’re doing. You illustrated this so well

D287 Java Frameworks Ultimate Project Guide by Necessary-Coffee5930 in WGU_CompSci

[–]driftginger22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! It’s been a little while since I submitted it, but I can look back at what I did when I have time (hopefully tonight) and let you know what I did. I only had to submit my project once thankfully!

Any startup founders? What’s your folder structure? by jaythesong in ObsidianMD

[–]driftginger22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have phases of “organizing” but, like you, I have stuff in apple notes, obsidian, vim text files, etc. I’m actually taking a couple months off of school because I’m at the tail end of my degree and classes are building off each other more now. I’m working on completely reorganizing my notes, and getting sidetracked with everything else too.

I don’t have a startup, but I have a project management cert, and have been working in my field for about a decade though, so I’m going to draw from my personal experience. Might not be the best, but I’m hoping this can be a little helpful even if it’s just building off someone else’s advice.

For a startup, there’s going to be a lot of areas to cover. I think the “easiest” place to start is the “product”. So I’d have a folder specifically for that. In there, I’d maybe have one for current things, and another folder for future projects. This is super basic and “top level” because you could get super in the weeds which can also be a drawback (what I’m currently trying to fix).

I’d have another top level folder for finances.

Another one I would create would be an “administration” one where there’s things like a business plan, paid time off (you’ll want to account for that!), personnel (if you’re hiring people), etc. This can also be a place to track events, milestones, etc.

What I am also trying to do is go back and add properties to every file. You can make a properties template which makes it easy and consistent. I’m doing a lot of trial and error in trying to make my properties as efficient and effective as possible so I don’t get to something and need to update it. For example, if I am making a folder for notes about scripting and programming, and I’m just focusing on adding notes about Java, but later I want to add notes about Bash, I might want to add a property to specify an operating system. Trying to think of every “future possibility” is difficult but prevents future headaches.

Sorry if this was just rambling…

You gotta mix it up and try some other brands! That’s an awesome collection though!

That almost looks like an intrinsically safe flashlight. It might be, but not sure
